If I’m to be perfectly honest, Dior’s Golden Winter offering for this Christmas isn’t wowing me. It just looks like so much same-old, same-old that I was quite happy to overlook it altogether. I have to say however that despite feeling a little humdrum about it, I was a little taken with the Golden Snow 644 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette,<\/strong> which is one of 2 limited edition palettes released for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Golden Snow is the cooler of the 2 palettes, the other being Golden Flower #643 which you can see here<\/a>. Since I prefer cooler tones, this was something I was ready to test. If it had been Golden Flower offered to me, I’d have passed on it immediately.<\/p>\n

I found the Golden Snow palette to have a consistent quality with the rest of Dior eyeshadow palettes. What this means is that if you never liked other Dior palettes (common complaints are sheer textures) then you won’t like this one either. I did however, find that the quality of the shadows were better in terms of colour application and blendability and I could quite easily pack on colour without it looking heavy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This being a Christmas and festive palette, there are 2 glittery shades included in a gold and white. They both add a festive sparkle to the eyes and for me, swatch fine and smoothly. You wouldn’t wear them alone of course. What I do is tap them on for a stronger glitter application, or blend them out for a smooth shine without looking glittery.<\/p>\n

Whilst the 2 glittery colours add the much needed holiday sparkle to the eye (let’s not be Grinches eh? ;)) my favourite colours in Golden Snow are actually the 2 colours at the bottom. The colour on the right looks a bit like a midnight blue in the picture, but is in fact a dark charcoal grey. The colour on the left is a light purple (if it could be called that) that I was quite afraid of, but have warmed up to it. I’ll give you a brief run down of colours and textures using the swatches below.<\/p>\n
